    Montage of images from Cayucos Candy Counter
    Ed U.

    Even though we just polished off the legendary smoked salmon tacos at Ruddell's Smokehouse nearby (review: https://bit.ly/3n3G7KG), Jamie W. and I found something very alluring about finding an ice cream parlor at the base of the popular Cayucos Pier. You may already know Cayucos is a popular beach town on the Central Coast but not nearly as crowded as Pismo Beach. The more casual vibe made it more conducive for us to split a $6.50 Double Scoop Cup. We deserved two flavors, we felt, so we went with Coconut Pineapple (a slam dunk) and Moose Tracks (photo: https://bit.ly/38Ppl9U). OK, Jamie chose Moose Tracks since the name sounded to me like, well, what you find in your underwear when...oh, you know. But it was actually vanilla streaked with fudge and peanut butter. Nothing wrong with that. ICE CREAM - 4 stars...creamy goodness AMBIANCE - 4 stars...an old-fashioned sweets shop SERVICE - 3.5 stars...friendly enough TOTAL - 4 stars...get two flavors, you deserve it RELATED - Exploring California's Central Coast?

    Sundae in a waffle cone!

    Nice selection of candy--some old-fashioned choices I haven't seen in years. Tasty ice cream--got mine in a waffle cone because my parents never let me as a kid but now I am an adult with my own money so I went for it! Friendly service, too, which is always a plus! Glad I stopped in on a whim.

    We were at Morro Bay this weekend and the granddaughter wanted some ice cream and the wife wanted some gelato what we went to the the candy counter well they were out of gelato they couldn't make shakes they couldn't make malts out of gelato all they had was like five containers maybe six of ice cream and a crap load of candy and I'm like okay your ice cream shop and you can't even give me a malt it a milk shake because you're out so that's why I have to give them a three stars other than that my wife said her Sunday was okay and of course my daughter got some candy of course she's going to say it's okay but other than that I give these guys three stars they got to get their stuff together the states opening back up

    Fun candy/toy for the Grandkids

    One word; AFFOGATO! Omgosh! I discovered something new! I like coffee and chocolate but not together. That is until now!!" I asked Dave (adorable Barista that works there) what an affogato was and tried it and love it! It's dark chocolate gelato with a shot of espresso topped with whipped cream. Sounds whatever but the combo is unique and addicting. My husband and I visit seasonally and sometimes make the ride, via Harley, just for the fun of it. We enjoy the fun candies of our childhood and finding new stuff for the grandkids. Now when we go cruising if there is a place that serves affogatos I order one but honest haven't found a place between Camarillo and Cayucos that comes close to matching the craving I get for Dave's Affogato. It's worth the drive from Camarillo.

    Cute candy shop with a variety of treats to choose from. Kind of on the smaller side. They also have a small ice cream shop, but the ice cream didn't look all great. I ended up purchasing their chocolate truffles: peanut butter and milk chocolate. They were big and decently priced. It's a nice place to go inside to pass time, but otherwise you could skip it.

    Dark chocolate gelato

    Cute place! We came in for gelato and it was delicious. We ate it right outside on one of the little benches out there. It's right next to the pier and beach area. A little kid's heaven, basically!

    My order Choco chip gelato is the best not overly sweet

They have a good selection of sweets, and a lot of flavors of salt water taffy. It's also somewhat of a gift store with little trinkets and souvenirs. The selections of truffles candies were really nice. So many to choose from as they all looked so good. Not sure if they're made on site or delivered to. Also the selections of jelly beans were impressive. Picked up one of the strawberry truffle and raspberry truffle. Both were quite nice and not overly sweet. It's a nice little shop that does offered a lot of sweet and coffee drinks. I alway forget that they have a good selection of rice crispy treats which is one of my favorite. There was a bin full of them right where you pick up your drinks.

And the employee working is very knowledgeable and can quickly give recommendations on you might like based on your 'usual' snacks. My only real complaint (beyond being somewhat overwhelmed with the sheer amount of flavors and meat types they offer) is that when you start to get in to some of the more unique animals, the amount of jerky you are going to get is much smaller and much more expensive than the normal beef jerky. I understand why, but when I'm interested in trying a new animal jerky, I'm often not willing to spend up to $20 when I'm not even sure if I am going to like it. I really think they could benefit from some sort of 'taste of jerky' pack or something that includes basically bite sized samples of various exotic jerky. I would absolutely play $20~$30 for a variety pack knowing that while I might not like everything, I am trying a bunch of new things but in small portions. From there you will then know what to pick up the next time you are there. So, I highly recommend swinging by House of Jerky when you are in the area. If anything to just see some of the unique offerings they have. Just know that if you want to go that route, you're going to be paying a bit of a premium for your unique jerky snacking experience.

Sorry to say this place is as many have said, a tourist trap. The halibut batter lacked seasoning it was practically tasteless. It's freshly fried however. Fries upgrade helped the fries only. The entire basket didn't taste much like anything and the tartar didn't help. The clam chowder was very salty. And I mean, very. It barely had clams in it and didn't taste rich and mostly had big cubes of potato. It was disappointing. The lines can get very long very fast. They have a good spot with greats views or Morro Rock. Parking is free everywhere to my knowledge.
